Jim did an amazing job at our wedding this fall! He was on time and personalized our ceremony just to our liking. His prices can’t be beat for the quality service he provides. I would highly recommend him for any couple needing a great officiant for their wedding.

If you're getting married, you want Jim to officiate your wedding! He is kind, punctual, and extremely organized. He knew exactly what to say and do at all times, ran our rehearsal, and kept the ceremony organized. I appreciate his knowledge so much. He made everything so easy for me and my family. I have been to a handful of weddings where the officiant was a little quirky, and I can assure you all that Jim is a very normal, very nice man. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thanks so much for making our day so beautiful Jim!

Jim officiated our wedding, and we could not have a picked a better person. He met with us beforehand to see what my husband and I are all about, and tailored our ceremony perfectly to us. He was kind, professional, and very supportive. I had no doubts the ceremony was going to be perfect in his hands, and it definitely turned out that way. We searched for awhile to find someone that was the right fit, and Jim was perfect.

We make contact via Thumbtack. I am always available to talk by phone, email, text, etc.. whichever is best for you.
Once you hire me I have you fill out an online wedding questionnaire that provides all the details (or those you know) about the ceremony.
We meet for coffee to get to know one another and plan out the ceremony.
Wedding rehearsal (if requested)
Wedding ceremony (I arrive 30 minutes in advance)
Sign the marriage license.
